With this record I hand you my new 

 Book for 1900, thanking you kindly for past orders. 

 Generally speaking the past season has been an 

 unusually prosperous one and I trust that you are so thoroughly con- 

 vinced of the success to be obtained by planting Buckbee's Seeds that you will 

 again favor me with your esteemed orders. 



I aim to treat all customers in a manner calculated to secure their permanent pat- 

 ronage, realizing that the best advertisement any firm can have is a well satisfied customer. 

 From the unprecedented growth of my business, and from the thousands of kind expressions 

 which are yearly received from my customers — I am led to believe that my efi^orts in producing 

 the best seeds that grow are appreciated, and I shall always strive to maintain the High Stand- 

 ard for which Buckbee'S Seeds are celebrated throughout the world. 



1 want your business and goodwill, and therefore will endeavor to make every order with 

 which you may favor me, a profitable and paying investment to you. 



There is a growing demand for the very best varieties of carefully grown vegetables in all 

 markets — why not set aside a small portion of your land for market gardening and reap the 

 results? Endeavor to send me at least one new customer's order with your own this year, and i 

 will see that you are well paid for your trouble. Again thanking you for past favors, and 

 soliciting a continuance of the same, I am. 



Yours for Success, 



H. W. BUCKBEE.
